After the latest round of playoffs, all the playoff teams and first-round matchups of the NBA season have been released. In the first round of the matchup, in addition to the Lakers and Grizzlies, another team that has attracted a lot of attention is undoubtedly the Warriors and Kings matchup. Although the Kings are in third place in the West, for now, there is almost a lopsided optimism that the Warriors can win the Kings in six games. At the same time, the league has also released a lot of data to confirm the strength of the warriors.
This season's NBA regular season has ended, the Warriors entered the playoffs as the sixth in the West, and will face the Kings in the first round, and the American media posted a set of three-point statistics about Curry. The data shows that Curry is among the top four in NBA history for three-point shooting per game in a single season:
2020-2021: 5.3 shots per game and 42.1% shooting
2015-2016 season: 5.1 shots per game and 45.4% shooting
2018-2019: 5.1 shots per game and 43.7% shooting
2022-2023 season: 4.9 shots per game 42.7% shooting
In addition, Curry is averaging 33.0 points in four games against the Kings this season, up from his average of 29.4 points this season
Golden State Warriors assistant coach Bruce Fraser was recently interviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle. When it comes to Curry, he gives the strongest rating in history.
In addition, Fraser said: Just Tuesday, local time, inside the training ground at Chase Center, Curry jumped back and forth between five positions on the court, quickly finding his rhythm, shooting 94 of 100 from beyond the three-point line. It wasn't his best performance ever, with he hitting 105 straight three-pointers after a training session in Chicago in December 2020.
For the Warriors' three-pointer, US media Statmuse updated the news, sharing the three-point record of Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. So far in their playoff careers, Curry and Thompson have hit a combined 1,012 three-pointers, more than the all-time record of 10 teams.
Of course, there is also a statistic that at least five players in league history who have shot 250+ three-point range in at least five seasons are Stephen Curry and Buddy Hield.
In any case, it seems that in the record of three-pointers, the Warriors have become synonymous with the league.
